Australia ablaze

Australia ablaze: the Dean's Gap fire south of Nowra in NSW, pictured from the Princes Highway at Wandandian shortly after the highway was closed and all access to Sussex Inlet cut off. Rural Fire Service crews lost control of the fire as strong winds and temperatures above 40 degrees fuelled the fire. Picture: Dan Himbrechts/The Australian
